While there are lots of Disney classics, there are a few films that land right at the top of the list of the best and most beloved. “Pinocchio” is considered one of the greatest animated films ever made, with two Academy Awards (for best original score and best original song “When You Wish Upon a Star”) as well as a rare 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Now, it is ready to delight a whole new generation of dreamers with its masterful animation, unforgettable characters and award-winning music as it arrives for the first time on Digital HD and Disney Movies Anywhere on Jan. 10, and on Blu-ray™ and DVD on Jan. 31 with hours of new and classic bonus features.

Jiminy Cricket, Pinocchio’s smart and adorable friend, is one of my all-time favorite Disney characters. I totally loved him the vintage “I’m No Fool” series and that never would have come about if it wasn’t for his original appearance in Pinocchio!

The Walt Disney Signature Collection release includes hours of classic bonus material and exclusive features including a reinvented rendition of “When You Wish Upon a Star” created and performed by music influencers from Disney’s Maker Studios; never-before-seen artwork from the film’s Pleasure Island sequence; archival recordings of Walt himself during “Pinocchio” production; and a recently restored and scored 1927 short featuring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.

About the Film:

“Pinocchio” tells the tale of wood-carver Geppetto’s beloved puppet who embarks on a thrilling quest – with faithful friend Jiminy Cricket – that tests his bravery, loyalty and honesty, all virtues he must learn to fulfill his heart’s desire: to become a real boy.

I would love to win Disney’s Pinocchio Signature Collection because my granddaughter would love it. She loves dancing to movies and would laugh at the fun characters in the movie especially the kitty. She loves cats. I love when Pinocchio’s nose is getting longer when he is telling fibs. The movie is really so cute to watch.

I would love to win this Blu-ray to share with my family because I love the classic Disney films. All the modern films are computer animated, and are fine, but there’s something special about these traditionally animated films that make then so endearing. Thank you for the chance to win.

My favorite part is when Pinocchio runs away and the adventures that he encounters, I would love to win for my grandchildren because they do not have this movie and my 4 yr old granddaughter had never seen it.
